According to Wikipedia, a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is defined as:
"Personal Learning Environments are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning. This includes providing support for learners to:
set their own learning goals
manage their learning; managing both content and process
communicate with others in the process of learning and thereby achieve learning goals.
A PLE may be composed of one or more subsystems: As such it may be a desktop application, or composed of one or more web-based services."
This resource UK Computer Science school takes a broader definition of PLEs and is a must see on this topic. It has information about PLEs based on blogs, e-Portfolios, and other tools.
See the section on Fostering Successful Learning with PLEs in Wikibooks Online Work projects (WOW) by Curtis Bonk class on Web 2.0 and Emerging Technologies.
